Wild Thing - Leopard on branch (Pollyanna Pickering) - 8"card - 

day 219 of my 366 day challenge 

Hi Craft addicts!

So, once again, I have turned to the stunning leopard artwork from the renowned wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering for this 8" card that makes up day 219 of my 366 day challenge.

I first of all cut off about an inch from the front of the 8" white card as I wanted part of the decoration to appear on the inside but which could be seen straight away, I have also used 3 inserts from the Walk in the Wild (Pollyanna Pickering) insert collection to make this card (and still have some left over to add to other cards).

Then, using the "Chains Panel" die from Tattered Lace, I die cut the panels using the Leopard Print and blue patterned insert (that matches the edge of the main image). I must admit that I cut them both at the same time!!

I tried both panels and decided to use the blue version cutting it in half so that it fitted the front of the card and glued them to it using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I then cut the main "leopard" insert into three (the man image, the centre panel with the sentiment and then the narrow border).

Using Collall All Purpose glue, I stuck the main "Leopard" panel to the middle of the card (trying to make sure it was even on both sides) and then added the extra narrow border to the right hand side so it co-ordinated with the left.

I then took some of the "waste" shapes from both background inserts and glued them to the right hand (inside) part of the card, alternating the colours. I cut out the "Wild Thing!" sentiment from the Walk in the Wild Popper Pad and added it to the bottom of the card using foam pads.

To finish the card off, I used some "Caribbean Ocean", "Dandelion Yellow" and "Clear" Nuvo crystal drops to accent some of the spaces.

For the insert, I cut a square panel from the main "leopard" one with the sentiment "Wild Thing!" included and glued it to the inside of the card
